A face rig allowing an animator to generate new facial expressions by combining or blending a set of predefined expressions (known as the targets).

“If you don't have the blendshapes your character needs then your character cannot act except with body language.”

“Similarly, avatar facial animation through vision-based methods has been explored following a similar approach in which facial features on the user's face are tracked via a Kinect [15] or single image acquisition methods [3, 4, 10] to generate animation via detailed face rigs or pre-defined blendshapes.”

“Second, and more widely used for real-time purposes, facial blendshapes (predefined morph targets) can be defined as morph properties of the avatar's face and deformed according to tracking software inputs [Orvalho et al., 2012].”
